* As our kitchen knives are hand-made (some with natural materials like timber), small variation to size and colour may occur.
* Non stainless steel kitchen and chef knives require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust. Even though this can easily be removed if it does occur, we recommend you hand wash and thoroughly dry after each use, do not use a dishwasher. For extended storage, coat in an oil like our Tsubaki.

The Menkiri knife is used for making long straight cuts, usually when making noodles. Traditionally used for Soba noodle they are also useful when making pasta and some even use them for fine chopping vegetables and herbs, used much like a chinese cleaver.
